Schroedinger’s King Riding The Anti-Mandelbrot Swan
Maybe Black Swans Are In Fact Anti Mandelbrot Swans (The Anti-Mandelbrot Swan –The Rainbow Swan – The Meta Swan)
What I mean is the fuzziness of this Swan; or better, as Black Swans and Grey Swans a quite fuzzy as well, the exponential,non-linear fuzziness of the Meta Swan.
We are living in Extremistan !
We have the White Swan, opposite the Black Swan and the Grey Swan opposite the Meta Swan.
This just the theory; just like simplified coordinates.
Or in other words: with the Grey Swan we try to make Black ones White or bring them at least closer to being White Swans - it’s gradual - and the dirty Meta Swan tries to make the would-be White and Grey ones into Black ones or at least closer to being a Black Swan.
So, the idea here is that maybe some, few or even many Black Swans – like they could be Grey Swans for some people – could be Meta Swans. Or one could call it a Dirty Swan as well as one could say the Meta Swan is a very specific case of the Grey Swan.
Why this ?
We remember, it depends on the point of view and on who is observing any phenomenon, if its Black or maybe Grey.
So, imagine an entity or a person, group of people, company, state, whatever form of consciousness, animal or Alien King observes a phenomenon, or better an environment heavily stuffed with loads of potentially close-to-explosion Black Swans. For the observer in the know these ones would not be Black Swans but Grey Swans; at least in theory.
So now the observer has option:
1.) Wait, shut up and watch the upcoming while preparing or not; we don’t care right now about details here. Kind of doing nothing but at least staying aware and awake - neutral.
2.) Start to dig deeper into this obvious heavy distortion of human perception of reality and feel the need to talk to your fellow human brothers and sisters aka the other participants, because it maybe would at least offer a chance to make things better.
3.) Or the observer gets active as well, but in the other direction and is trying to launch and imitate and even stage Black Swans. These wouldn't be real Black Swans; this is the Dirty Swan aka The Meta Swan !
But this is only the very primitiv form of the Meta Swan.
The far more elaborate form is not just simply staging whatever event but by fully applying the observer’s knowledge of the Black Swan Phenomenon and simply encourage and keep up the Not-Knowing of the other participants of this specific environment. Or in other words, make sure there are no ways for this system to re-calibrate itself to get rid of the giant potential of heavy internal & external Black Swan Pressure.
Something like:
Keep them locked up and let ’em kill themselves ! The kettle-them-in-and-boil-them-theory.
Ok, I slow down a bit but maybe you got a taste of where I want to go with this.
I like call these phenomenons the Dirty Swan and maybe you start to understand why I feel them dirty ?
Besides, primitiv Dirty Swans can be part of fully implementing Dirty Swan Projects, which could be part of even more complex projects which could be part of… etc.
We are living in Extremistan, right ?!
Hypothesis:
Could it be that behind most of Black Swans are in fact Meta Swans ?
Or even further, are they even all Anti-Mandelbrot ones ? Or are there real Black ones at all ? Or are there Black ones but in a dimension we can not even imagine ?
So lets go back to the beginning: Imagine Nassim Nicholas Taleb (NNT) with his hyper-skeptical thinking and way of observing the world living 250 years ago in good old Europe so he does not know that in real nature there are swans colored: black; but he does know about what he called the Bow and Arrow Phenomenon which is his theory and observation revolving around very rare, unusual and scarce events and their consequences.
Bow and Arrow because of a tale of how one so-called Native once went to sleep, dreamed about Bow & Arrow and the next day he built the first ever built Bow & Arrow in human history here on Earth; and that changed his life and not only his a lot.
So NNT comes to see a real natural swan colored: black; but for him this is no problem. To him this is a Bow & Arrow experience; no too big surprise. For NNT the real natural swan color: black would be a so-called Grey Swan.
Because after your Bow & Arrow experience you are not excluding nearly nothing anymore and so you are open for the possibility of a real swan, color: black.
The changing and awakening from Black Swan Perception to Grey Swan Perception comes along with the question: How could it be possible, that I forgot about the possibility of unusual and very rare events and their consequences ?
So Grey Swans could be behind Black Swans ! Could there be as well Meta Swans behind Grey Swans ?
If NNT 250 years ago knows not only about the bow and arrow phenomenon but as well the truth about the Grey Bow & Arrow Phenomenon, or another man called Benoît Mandelbrot, then for him the swan coming from Australia color: black would be a Meta Swan - an Anti-Mandelbrot Swan.
The changing from Grey Swan Perception to Meta Swan Perception comes along with the question: How could it be possible that whatever entity encouraged me successfully to forget about the possibility of unusual and very scarce and rare events and their consequences ?
Or even better: How could I have forgotten that there might be an entity involved making me forget about the possibility of unusual and very rare events and their consequences ?
I admit it looks a little like a mental brainf***ery, but just gimme a second.
The differences of the consequences are huge as we will see:
a.) The ordinary people seeing a swan color: black just had to change this one fact in their biology books and it's business as usual.
b.) For NNT it would mean not only to change that one fact but to rewrite the whole book; well and probably think about rewriting all the other science books in all libraries.
c.) Benoit Mandelbrot, if I may stay in this metaphor, the one able to perform the Anti-Mandelbrot Perception, would go a lot further: He would immediately start to re-format, re-program and re-calibrate himself !
The God Of Relativism In Modern Days & The Problem Of Too Big Too Shame
You did criticize the statement of B. Russell concerning something like,
"We got to teach the people not to judge." and you disagreed and answered ending like, ”Maybe humans want to believe and judge and maybe it’s ok to have this wish”.
I want to go one step further and say that humans have to believe ! But we can do it skeptically and maybe a skeptical believe is not that far away from a Black-Swan-Cleaned knowledge ?!
And this is the point of everything.
The frontier, the intersection, the overlap, boundary or interface between knowledge and belief & faith. Maybe they are not antagonists in a dualistic sense but complementary in polarity way.
Maybe this is similar to your platonic gap: Where it all happens !
If we would really Black-Swaning, meaning falsifying these two realms of mind & spirit; maybe they would make themselves complete ?!
Like a wise man knows when to work with wisdom and when to work with belief/faith because he knows that there are things we will never know ! But a wise man will follow a belief & faith if he has to which is skeptical, full of integrity and a wise man’s worth.
So, why do I say have to believe ?
If I fully apply that knowledge Black Swan Phenomenon; namely that i do not know anything for sure. Neither about the external reality like: economics, money, society, science, culture, information, history, evolution, etc aka the observed nor about the internal reality, meaning the observer himself, then, and maybe only then, I will be able to catch a glimpse of how interactive, reflexive and transcendent the structure of this our Living Reality actually is.
Yeah, don’t worry, I'm not gonna ask the quantum physicists for encouragement of my arguments, the observed depending on observer, but want to take a look at the Sub Quantum Reality of the observer himself. Applying the Black Swan Knowledge on me; my “I” or my self so to say.
I know that I am and I know that I am living ! I don’t discuss that anymore for these are ridiculous questions. But what I don’t know is what I am ? Not who but what I am. Why is that so ?
Imagine there is you and only you; so only you without nothing else.
Absolutely nothing. No space, no earth, no time , no singularity, no Steven Hawkins, no gods, no whatsoever background, or framework, no eternal and physical laws; simply nothing and there never had been anything at all ! Obviously in this case I would not only not know what I am but even more it would be impossible to come to the realization to learn about the fact:
To Be and To Be Alive !
If there’s only me I could not know that I am ! ‘Thank God’, there is something besides me. In fact there is a lot: Life, earth, cosmos, people, animals, consciousness, matter, energy, etc. So it is exactly the fact that there is this something aka some Greater Reality, which I can interact with in many ways, which makes it possible for me to come to know the fact that I am and that I am living.
Hurra, let there be consciousness !
So, I still do not know what I am but I can say that the reality and essence of that something which is called I is essentially depending on the fact that there is something more than just me; some Greater Reality.
In fact you can not separate these two realities from each other - The Individual and the Greater Reality, although I don’t want to speculate about death and pathological and mental disorder at this point.
They are indivisible and that’s why we can answer the question. “What am I ?”, with the word we are using:
I am an Individual !
We could call this the Atom Seed of Consciousness. That means the very essence what we are can not be separated and further divided, can not be cut off from the External Living Greater Reality, cause it’s exactly this which gives birth to my Consciousness & Being, to my True Self !
And what kind of relation, of indivisibility or individuality between these two, the internal and the external, realities do we have here ? What kind of connection ? Is there a hierarchy ?
I remember there is the question about the chicken and the egg, which is in my eyes the wrong question like so very often. It’s not about what comes first, the chicken or the egg but it’s about what am I or You or We ?
As the external, the Not-Me, reality has this kind of connection not only to me and my reality but also to you and yours and to the ones of all other humans it is obvious that I am, We are, the egg, maybe even with the potential of becoming chicken-like, meaning transforming and performing the Self to new, higher and more complex forms and expressions of being a being.
I am the egg and the External Greater Living Reality is the chicken; and my reality is depending on the existence of that second kind of reality aka The Chicken.
Now, I know that I am, I am living, and we are eggs with the potential and possibility to transform or what some would call to ascend ! To make a long story short:
If you give these eggs now Free Will and Free Choice they could even use this to deny that they are eggs ! Meaning they start to confuse and misinterpret individuality: Not possible to separate my reality as a being from the greater reality and take its meaning to the complete opposite:
Being separated; only me me me me me me, mine, me, I !
Per definition that would be a Dividual and not an Individual. Undivided inside Me, Myself and I but divided and thus separated from everything which is Not-Me. Being separated from anything and therefore by definition such a Dividual is cutting himself off from his own source of Life and Reality.
Quite a tragedy, is it not ?!
If an egg denies the chicken or the human denies the source, the Individual becomes a Dividual, forgets what he really is and will eventually start to vanish, decay and die because he is dissolving his own true reality ! Not to mention that he does not really understand anything what’s going on in life.
Meaning, if you cut yourself off from the source you cut yourself off of yourself.
Or like the Jamaicans say: “If you not run de tings yourself, then de tings start to run you !”
And this is exactly what’s going on more and more and more in our days in all different fields of our live.
So my message is:
We've got to apply this knowledge and wisdom on the observer himself, on Ourselves.
So for this time I think it’s enough, but if you are interested in going deeper into this conversation I promise to tell you about the Anti-Mandelbrot Swan next time. That's what I initially wrote for you, but then decided to start with these basics. The nature of the egg and the chicken, Cui Bono, Black Swan & Rainbow Swan Knowledge and the Blueprint of Master Deception; in case one wants to go down that road and discover the frickin Lord of Deception.
And sure how all this is related and connected to not only the so-called Arab Spring, the Western-lead occupation of Lybia and once again quite close to your beloved Amioun, your beloved home town in Lebanon, the peoples of the world get dragged into another bloody, unnecessary, staged Meta Swan Crisis.
So, for now I stop; hope you enjoyed being with me or that it at least gave you a smile.
